Kick off Return

[Agnt42]

I may be off my rocker here and please correct me if I am.
During the second half there was a flag thrown against the Cards for a block in the back during the return.
The replay cleared it up for me. It was another Patriot that hit Branch and ultimately put him out of the game. SO, did the cards get flagged for pushing the player into Branch or did the refs just blow it?

Branch did get hit by his own player but the flag was called for something else which was a block in the back. They made the right call.

I think branch was injured on the last play of the 1st half - he was hit by his own player - I did not see him return....but maybe he did return for the 2nd half and I missed it. The last play of the 1st half was an interception return - as time expired - not a kickoff return...I did not see a flag - but branch was taken out by his own player....but in all the confusion - I may have missed the flag..

You are absolutely right. It was the last play in the first half. The intercepted hail merry pass by Brady. This happened during the return.

The update on Branch is that he is ok....phew !
He did not return in the game.

Thanks for the info. And even though the Cards did lose I feel you guys have a bunch to be proud of.

The Cardinal Defense did something very very few other teams could, And that was force Brady into making some mistakes. Wicked pass rush from your front four.
Your secondary played pretty good, and will continue to improve.

4th quarter I had the feeling that your WRs kinda gave up, Your QB did not.
Im sure if there is anything to it Green will address it.

Good luck next week !!!!

I do want to say to any doubters out there.

If The Cardinals end up 14-2 and win their division with homefield advantage....Will you still be dissapointed about this loss?

Heres another point to ponder which is probably covered somewhere else on this board.

You got some good film of a pretty good Team with the NE Patriots.
Build on that. And next week is the only game that matters.
